Tournament divided into two halves: winners of the two halves dispute the championship in a best-of-3 finals series unless:
A team wins both rounds. In that case, the winning team automatically wins the championship.
A third team has a better cumulative record than both finalists. In that case, the third team has to win in a playoff against the team that won the second round to face the team that won in the first round in a best-of-3 finals series.

^As Letran won both pennants, they were named automatic champions.
The Letran Knights raced to four wins in the second round and captured the NCAA Seniors crown when deposed champion Mapua beat San Beda, 78-77 on September 11, and ended hopes for the Red Lions to figure in a playoff with the Knights for the second round flag. Letran already clinch the championship even before their last game against Trinity on September 15. The Knights lost their final game to the Stallions, 89-102.
